There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."
I have come to realize I'm not a huge fan of the Discworld series. I like the first one. But Id idn't like Equal Rites that much or the one with Death. I think it was the first one. But I wasn't reading them in a proper order.
mostly the writing style became too much about half way through.
Still thinking Vorkosigans, and at one point in the last couple of weeks, I went looking for Taura fan art to no avail. So I don't know what this is actually about, but I like it for Taura! [link]
Also, there's a guy who I see on my commute some days who could be the physical model for Miles, and I can't decide if I hope he does or doesn't know about the series.
So I don't know what this is actually about, but I like it for Taura!
Good one! I don't know what it's meant to be either, but I like the girliness with the leonine fierceness for Taura.
I'm glad you brought up the Vorkosigans - I find myself still periodically wondering why Gregor is not named Ezar. Maybe mentioning it out loud, as it were, will get it out of my head.
I just figured that Prince Serge was too much of a dick to bother following cultural naming practices.
That is an important question! Which I will now wonder about, but I think Serg=dick is probably the reason. I've also been wondering how Ivan rates a "Lord." Is it from the Vorbarra side somehow? (which, a minute later, I now see is what Wikipedia presumes...)
That's actually explained pretty well in Captain Vorpatril's Alliance. By, of all people, Ivan.

I hadn't thought of that. I didn't have the impression that Serg was allowed to have much say in anything to do with Gregor. All I could figure was that it's different for Emperors for some reason, but he's also a Count, so I don't find that really satisfactory.

Oh! Then I'll finally get there this week.
I just finished the fourth Thursday Next book and I've got to say that was a pretty satisfying arc.
I reread Captain Vorpatril's Alliance recently, and I'd forgotten what a great book it is.
I really enjoyed it! Ivan PoV was a nice change.
